I don't believe any of those three titles I mentioned would have any where near the sale potential of new 2D Donkey Kong. But saying that I don't see massive demand either in X, Bayonetta 2 & Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem compared to 2D Donkey Kong. I don't think every title has to be design to sell several million copies as minimum goal. I would imagine title like Starfox, Metroid, F Zero would over long period would get at least 1m+ sales and be profitable titles.

My guess is that Nintendo resources are spread thin right now, so there was no room for a Starfox, Metroid or F-Zero.

You are probably right, I guess they want to focus their first party resources on guaranteed strong seller right now over more risky titles. To be fair they have already invested in some risky titles like X, Bayonetta 2 & Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. Just a shame they can't do a few more and have a more complete range of genre available for the Wii U sooner rather than later.
